Sharpening NAP Hellrazor?
#1
Ok, so I'm not William Tell. I had a doe duck the arrow the other day and I put it in the dirt. Now I need to sharpen it.
Are opposing blades on the same plane? Can I sweep the broadhead over a fine stone on each of the three sides and sharpen it that way?

There is no easier, quicker way to sharpen them than with a belt sander. Even some cheap one will do a terrific job. Belts are cheap and come in multiple grits which are easily changed. I am a finish carpenter and my job requires me to use equipment so sharp that I can shave the end of the hardest wood. I'm not talking along the grain but against it. That's razor shape. Until you've seen something that sharp you really don't know what it is. A belt sander can do that with a head and it requires little skill and work. I'm sure that's the way the manufacturer does it. Just a more dedicated machine.

Ive used a flat stone, and the G5 diamond stone. Both work but what I have been using lately is a little sharpener made by Rada cutlery. Its called their quick edge sharpener. The thing will put a shaving sharp edge on a knife, broadhead, just about anything thats made to cut with just a few swipes. Only cost like $6.50. Realy quick and easy to use. Works well on the montecs two for those who are having trouble getting them to shave.
